De Scheherezade, the grand production by the world-famous dancer and director, María Pagés, starts where the tales of One Thousand and One Nights end. Each of the twelve scenes relates the life of a woman. Behind these fates, mythic patterns reveal themselves, as those of Athena, Sappho, Medea, Blimunda, Bernarda, and, of course, Carmen. They are all characters more complex, controversial and unladylike than the charming, sassy Seherezade: these women are at once tough and gentle, strict, haughty, or, on the contrary, humble – but they are always fearless. The atmosphere of the performance relies on an exciting blend of traditional flamenco and Moroccan music, created by Rubén Levaniegos together with Sergio Menem and David Moñiz. It is further enriched by the music of Bizet and Rimsky-Korsakov, as well as stylistic touches of popular music.
